Holiday Fudge

I know that there will be those that disagree, but to me Christmas candy means fudge. I made two flavors of holiday fudge this year, and quite honestly am thinking of making more. First, is chocolate – without nuts. My daughter is allergic to nuts and she is home for college and loves fudge, so nuts were not an option. The second is white chocolate cranberry. This is my first time making the white chocolate cranberry, and it turned out wonderfully.

Both recipes are adaptation of the Fantasy Fudge Recipe on the jar of Jet-Puffed Marshmallow Creme. I know there are those out there that think using marshmallow creme is somehow cheating, but I feel like if it tastes like fudge and I had to use my candy thermometer, then it is fudge. I am going to write it up as one recipe and specify semi-sweet or white chocolate and list the cranberries as optional. Hey, you could put them in either, right? Actually, semi-sweet chocolate and cranberries sound really good, or maybe dried cherries…
